Report Preparation
Before creating a report with Report-Writer, you must decide what data and what kinds of summary information (such as subtotals) you want in your report and how it is laid out on the printed page (or screen). These factors are important in determining how the data must be extracted from the database, how the data must be ordered, and where you must place breaks (logical divisions between groups of data) in your report.
